Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- whether or not the proposed development would provide appropriate developer contributions, with particular regard to securing a contribution towards transport infrastructure
- whether or not the proposed development would be secured as a car-free development
- the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
- whether or not the appeal site is suitable for the conversion into two dwellings, with particular regards to the supply of family housing
- the effect of the proposal on the public highway with particular regard to the suitability of the submitted Outline Construction Logistics Plan
- whether or not the proposed development would provide adequate waste storage facilities
What decided it
The failure to secure required developer contributions for transport infrastructure and Epping Forest SAC mitigation through a legal agreement, combined with the lack of biodiversity net gain and car-free status, created substantial conflicts with the development plan that outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
